You say that like LGBT individuals don't continue to face legal challenges at the state level [1], or the threat of reduced protections at the federal level [2].

Anyway, the answer is no, because the discussion is about the impact of denigrating political stances on individuals generally. My example is one of many illustrating the importance of a greater principle: a workplace that supports the parties that work to forward such legislation supports the dehumanization of individuals. That is intolerable.

When human dignity hangs in the balance, politics matter.

But now you're moving the goalposts. It's no longer about making life decisions for your own family and avoiding homelessness, now it's about forcing another person to do something against their will even though similar services are available elsewhere. Your position is no longer as convincing.
